For homes without kids, I've cut up and distributed flea collars (cat type mostly) into the crevices of my sofa, between cushions, under the sofa and under inaccessable (for kids or pets) places fleas like to hide. It really works. I find though, the cheaper the collar the soonest the flea powder on it "expires".
